This is a product I've been working on for quite a while. I came on this idea when I was on my way for a meeting. We kept sending each other location's via WhatsApp when I thought there might be a need for a product like Routeshare. Hope you guys like what I've build.
Sleek visuals! My observations, hope they make sense.
First screen: You have Email, Password and "Register" button. I've entered my email and password, got "Incorrect details" message, then I've noticed that "Register" changed to "Login". I'm thinking: "How do I register then?". You see my confusion.
Other thought: Why do you need my detail to share the location? Sharing without registration would be powerful. Or asking to register at later stages at least.
I'm using Glympse for the same purpose. How would you expect to differentiate and become the default location sharing app?
The video on the homepage is slick, although I'd suggest speeding it up if possible.
Routeshare reminds me of Twist which launched back in 2012 and just last month, shut down. To be honest, I've been skeptical of consumer, temporary location sharing apps like this because
(1) texting/emailing someone your general location and ETA is good enough and
(2) it requires the user to change their behavior (they likely have an open conversation w/ that person via txt, email, etc.
Curious to hear your thoughts, @emieljanson.
